Connection navigator does not appear in new install on Win XP

I am trying to install SQL Developer as part of a class project on a Win XP machine.
My problem
When I launch sqldeveloper.exe, the start page appears but not the connection navigator pane. I do not have Oracle installed. I am trying to connect with a MySQL database I installed using Xampp.
What I did
Originally I tried installing the SDK separately. I installed the latest version of Java SDK (jdk-7-windows-i586.exe) along with unzipping sqldeveloper-3.0.04.34-no-jre.zip in to my c:\programs\ directory. But when I launched sqldeveloper.exe, it complained that it could not use version 7.
So uninstalled Java 7 and downloaded and unzipped the file sqldeveloper-3.0.04.34.zip in the program files directory as directed by the install instructions. The down load includes the
SDK but it is not installed.
I am wondering If the program is not functioning correctly because javew is not correctly installed. Why do I not need to execute an installer for the java SDK included in the download?

Have you tried View | Connections ?
Java doesn't really need to be installed, the actual installer does very little.
To debug your problem, try running <sqldev>\sqldeveloper\bin\sqldeveloper.exe instead of the normal executable. That should leave a console open which may show additional errors which will help .
Incidentally, using SQLDeveloper for non-oracle databases is probably not the best way to go. Third-party database support is there mainly to support migration to oracle. If you are using Mysql, you would be better using the native mysql clients.

    Hi Skydiver119,  and tks for four interest.
    I have done exactly as you say, but it does not work for me.
    You indicated  " Navigate to the info tab and scroll down. There'll be a check box for 'sync over wifi' or something to that effect. Check that box and sync to affirm your choice."
    I navigated to Summary tab (not Info Tab) and checked "Sync with this ipad over Wi-Fi"
    I disconnect the wire,
    and my iPad disappears from my iTunes screen.
    in my iPad ->Settings -> General -> iTunes Wi-Fi Sync -> says " Sync will resume when (my PC) is available.
    So, I can not sync via wi-fi
    I appreciate if you can help me.

  • Time Machine cannot back up to G-Drive slim which is connected, but does not appear in Finder.

    my MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2013) using OS X  Yosemite10.10.2 has properly connected G-drive Slim, but it does not appear in Finder;
    On Screen pop up Warnings:
    "Back up Failed  Time Machine couldn't back up to "G-Drive Slim" " and

  • Airport Extreme connected drive does not appear in Time Machines drive list

    I have two Macbook Pros. Both have 500GB hard drives. I have an airport Extreme with a WD terabyte hard drive and a HP printer attached via USB cable. Both Macbooks can access the WD HD & internet.
    One MacbookPro has time machine set up to use the Terabyte HD as backup.
    I want the other MacbookPro to also use this terabyte drive for backup.
    But when I try to set up Time Machine to use the drive, the drive does not appear in the backup drive list.
    What can I do to fix this? I had a HD crash on the non-backed up Macbook recently. I desperately need it to be backed up!
    Any ideas?

    Does the drive show in Disk Utility? Try a restart.

  • Classic environment does not appear to be installed

    By not installed I don't mean that OS 9 isn't installed, I have an OS 9 system folder on a seperate parition and I can start up the computer with it fine. What I mean by not installed is that the pref pane does not exist, and neither does "/System/Library/CoreServices/Classic Startup.app", or "/System/Library/Classic" and all the other files it uses. Whenever I try and start a classic app I get an error. "The operation could not be completed. An unexpected error Occured". How can I get Classic installed and working. Running OS X Server 10.4.11 on a PPC G4 Mac.

    I've asked a moderator move your post to the correct forum. Note for future reference there is a Server Products Discussion on http://discussions.apple.com/ separate from Mac OS X & Related products.

  • Intel Rapid Start Technology does not appear to be installed

    How do I get rid of this message?  
    It's an HP Envy dv7 Notebook, D0X38EA#ABU
    I haven't upgraded any part of the hardware - it's  configured as it came out of the box. It's running Win 8.1
    I have looked through the forum and downloaded manuals and it all gets extremely technical very quickly.  So I downloaded a driver from intel and it says "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software". 
    I am just a simple user. I can guess that the Intel thing will make the computer boot faster. That would be nice but I'm not qualified to start faffing around in the BIOS. Nor do I want to be.
    Please just tell me how to make the message go away. It's annoying. 
    This question was solved.

  • Airport Connection- Network does not appear in list

    I've searched through the topics and haven't seen anything exactly like my issue, but some close.
    I've been ignoring this mainly due to not having the time to research, but have spent all day today to no avail.
    I have a D-Link DI-514 router, my iMac is connected by ethernet, my Macbook via airport, both without issue.
    My iMac however will not connect via Airport, the airport is on, but the network does not show up, in-fact no network does. However my Macbook sees 6 networks (neighbors) including mine.
    The router is within a few feet of the iMac, I have moved it to various locations, still no network. I have duplicated all system preferences from the Macbook to the iMac, including Network, Sharing and Security settings.
    I have booted into safe mode and back, still no network.
    I began to think there must be a problem with the airport card, or an interference problem, so I booted into XP and successfully connected to my network with an "Excellent" signal, so the card works and there is no interference.
    I downloaded iStumbler, on both the imac and macbook, istumbler sees no networks on the iMac, the Macbook sees 6, including mine, which it sees at 72% with 8% noise.
    I've done this with both an Open Network and a WEP encrypted.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks

    The latest update fixed this for me!
    Cheers!

  • Amazon.de does not appear in new design

    when i visit amazon.de it still appears in the old blue/orange design.
    last month they changed their design to white/orange.
    regardless what i do:
    clear cache, delete cookies, refresh cache i only managed to get the new design working on amazon.de for one time.
    other amazon site (.com or co.uk) ususally work, but sometimes after i delete cookies, they also appear in the old design.
    this sucks. in IE9 the website amazon.de shows in teh new design.

    Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?<br />
    Does it happen after you reboot the computer?
    Some security software has virtualization or sandbox features that may cause problems by protecting and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.
    You can also try to reset (power off/on) the router.

  • Ipod Classic 160GB connects but does not sync to new itunes

    I'm having a lot of trouble after installing the latest itunes. My iTunes picks up the ipod as a device but will not sync with it. I've tried to just sync it, ive shut down itunes and turned the ipod off and tried, i've ticked the box that says "convert higher bit rate songs to 128kps AAC" and tried to sync and unticked the box and tried as well. I have also tried going to File ->Devices->sync, and the sync button is shaded so i can't click on it. I have also reset it to factory settings and tried. I'm out of ideas, does anyone else have any?

    Hello DeclanConky
    Check out the article below to troubleshoot if it is software or hardware. Try starting up in Safe Mode or try it out in another user. Also when you removed iTunes, did you remove the other associated files Apple in the specific order indicated in the second article?  Let me know if this works out or need to continue troubleshooting.

  • Could not edit in photoshop. photoshop does not appear to be installed

    V
    When editing a menu in Encore this message appears.
    How to solve?
    My system is Windows 7 64Bit. Use the Encore and Photoshop CS6 CC.
    Ao editar um menu no Encore esta mensagem aparece.
    Como resolver?
    Meu Sistema é Windows 7 64Bit. Uso o Encore CS6 e o Photoshop CC.

    First I would check to see what software my system was using to automatically open .psd files. Sometimes when you install other programs they claim the right to open these files. Close down all open software. Go to Windows Explorer, find a .psd file, right click on it and choose properties, under type of file choose Change and then choose Photoshop to open the file and tick the box that says use all the time. Click okay. Hopefully that will prevent you from having to re-install anything. Peace, BJ

  • TimesTen Connection Tab Does Not Appear in SQL Developer

    Hi,
    I have followed the following steps as discussed in the Official Docs:
    (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/timesten/sqldev-15313-relnotes-093173.html)
    Prerequisites
    Before you can use SQL Developer to connect to TimesTen:
    Install the TimesTen 7.0.3 or later release of the server or client on the same machine as SQL Developer.
    Make sure the CLASSPATH environment variable is pointing to the TimesTen JDBC driver ( TimesTen_install_dir/lib/ttjdbc5.jar) .
    On Linux systems, execute the shell script TimesTen_install_dir/bin/ttenv.sh or TimesTen_install_dir/bin/ttenv.csh to set up the TimesTen environment before launching SQL Developer.
    Still, there is no tab for TimesTem connection in my SQL Developer, only the ORACLE tab. I am using RHEL 5.5 and I have updated my JAVA to the latest version.
    Am I missing something else?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    i had the same problem. I solved it by:
    changing the classpath in /TimesTen/tt1121/bin/envcfg:
    # Things to add to the CLASSPATH
    my @add_classpath =
    ( "$ttdir/lib/$ttjarfile", # JDBC
    "$ttdir/lib/orai18n.jar",
    "$ttdir/lib/ttjdbc6.jar", # ADDED
    "$ttdir/lib/timestenjmsxla.jar", # JMS/XLA
    "$ttdir/3rdparty/jms1.1/lib/jms.jar", # Sun JMS
    instead of this change (adding the ttjdbc6.jar to classpath) you may edit in the same file:
    $jdkverstr = '5' unless defined $jdkverstr;
    my $ttjarfile="ttjdbc".$jdkverstr.".jar";
    to
    $jdkverstr = _'6'_ unless defined $jdkverstr;
    copy the first line of code after bash in the file /TimesTen/tt1121/bin/ttenv.sh
    and pasting it in the sqldeveloper.sh after the bash
    also you need to change the javahome in sqldeveloper
    /sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/bin/sqldeveloper.conf:
    mudar: SetJavaHome ../../jdk     to      SetJavaHome /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0

  • The wi-fi I'm connected to does not appear in the keychain access, so as to get the password back.. can you help me on this?

    thanks in advance.

    When you entered the password to connect to the network, there was a checkbox to save it in the keychain. If you didn't check that box, it wasn't saved. If it was saved, it's in the System keychain and has the type "AirPort network password."

  • Acrobat 9 does not appear in Install of CS4

    I have acrobat 8 pro running on my machine and just installed cs4.  Acrobat 9 does not appear on the install menu.  Any suggestions?

    Acrobat 9 is the cinderella of CS4 upgrades.
    Check if it appears as installed in the 'add/remove software' panel' under Adobe CS4. If it is, uninstall, restart, and install again. If it isn't same without uninstalling (hehe).
    I had to do this several times and still could't get MSOffice documents printed as pdf.
    If you have that problem as well, try this:
    Delete all instances of Adobe pdf maker from Printers.
    Start Acrobat and try creating a new pdf out of an existing Office doc.
    If you're lucky, Acrobat's self-repair function should start and solve the problem (I think I had to restart for this though).
    Hope this helps.

  • Acrobat 9 Professional Does not Appear in the Programs list

    One of our users does have Acrobat installed, and can open and use it. However, the shortcut that is in his start menu brings up the Installer. Acrobat does not appear in the installed prograns list in Programs and Features (WIN7). I don't see an Adobe group in the start menu, or when searching the task-bar. the Desktop shortcut links to the correct folder/acrobat.exe.
    Any reason why this program would NOT show up as having been installed, when it very clearly IS installed and working correctly?
    (Also, not sure if I'm in the right 'community', please redirect me if i'm in error.)
    thanks everybody,

    Hi Gabriel,
    Please try repairing Acrobat from the 'Help' menu and check.
    Also check if Acrobat has been updated to the latest patch i.e. v9.5.5
